Pampering the sea

But this is not important, the important thing is that Xin Yue knows that Yoshida City must go this way.

As far as Xin Yue knows, before the Meiji Restoration, Japan was relatively poor and backward. Even if Tokugawa Ieyasu ruled the world and attempted to dominate the country, Japan would not necessarily be very rich.After such a long period of exploration, Xin Yue discovered that this strange world is really not much different from the original history of the 21st century, only some changes have taken place, and the general environment has not changed beyond recognition.

At this time, Japan was still in a period of turmoil, and the interior was unstable. No poor people could afford such high-end charcoal. Moreover, Xin Yue heard that Yoshida Jiakang, the son of Yoshida City Lord, had recently taken in several concubines and sent a whole family of concubines. All the concubine's family moved into Yoshida Castle, so the charcoal in Yoshida Castle was used more than in previous years, so they planned to bring it into the city early.

No mistake, Xin Yue's eyes seemed to flash a sharp stream of light in the dark night.At this moment in the dead of night, with the murmur of water beside the path, and occasional birdsong in the woods, Xin Yue passed by several graves expressionlessly, and the night suddenly became dark.

After a while, Xin Yue arrived at the destination.

Yoshida Castle was built against the sea, with Erdaocheng, Sandaocheng, Dachengmen, and four other moats surrounding it. It is a strategic hub with many embankments.

Perhaps due to such a unique geographical advantage, coupled with the fact that the shogun has stepped up efforts to suppress the rebellion, the war has slowed down a bit, and the body is tired in the dead of night, so the soldiers at the gate of the city relaxed their vigilance invisibly. We chatted about the romantic affair between a certain singer in the water tea house and a certain samurai.

"Ah, Shimono Mamoru is really becoming more and more flirtatious, and is entangled with a fifth-class singing girl, haha."

"He Taishan knows, and he will not be spared."

"Shimono Shou is usually arrogant and domineering, so let him suffer a little bit."

They talked endlessly about other people's misfortunes, but they didn't know that misfortune was about to befall them.

The black shadow slowly squirmed forward among the bushes, a pair of cold eyes shone with a cold light at the moment, a small stone flew out from the bushes, and landed on the Fengfu acupoint of the soldier who didn't talk much at the side with precision. The shadow flew out of the grass and stood there silently, leaning against the soldier who was hit by acupuncture points and was unconscious and about to fall to the ground. It's all right.

A total of four soldiers were on duty, and the three gathered together to talk. Xin Yue used the fainting as a shield, and waited for the best opportunity quickly and silently. Suddenly, a soldier over there stretched his waist, and Xin Yue raised his eyebrows. , a stone was thrown in the past with a whoosh, the man rolled his eyes immediately, and he was about to fall to the ground with a bang.

"What..." When the man was about to fall to the ground, the two soldiers who were talking happily suddenly realized that something was wrong, but what caught their eyes was a slender figure bursting like a beast, and Xin Yue jumped up quickly, He flew towards the two soldiers like a leopard, and in a flash, the guard only saw a black shadow descending from the sky, and before he had time to see what it was, Xin Yue suddenly fell from the sky, his five fingers forming claws, and his fingers were extremely precise Pressing on the aorta of the neck of the two people, with a heavy blow, the two people who felt dizzy and hypoxic suddenly fell unconscious and limp on the ground like soft water.

There was no time to breathe out and relax. At this moment, the closed city gate suddenly creaked. Xin Yue frowned, and quickly retreated to the side without knowing how many people came out from inside, sticking tightly to the city wall. Yuan, held his breath and remained motionless.

A man dressed as a samurai came out on a horse, and there was nothing else. Seeing that the city gate was about to close slowly, how could Xin Yue let go of such an opportunity, and just rolled over the horse on the spot, The samurai on the horse seemed to be drunk, his dazed head suddenly woke up when he saw the soldier lying on the ground, and he was about to scream, but the riot behind him suddenly came, and a cold wind blew past him, A pair of cold hands suddenly grasped his mouth from behind. Japanese horses are not tall and strong, and this samurai is also very short like dwarfism. Xin Yue restrained him effortlessly, and hit his temple with a fist , a muffled hum escaped from Xin Yue's palm, which was so weak that he could hardly remember it amidst the sound of the waves.

The coherent movements were smooth and smooth, and it took less than three seconds. Just a second before the city gate was about to close, Xin Yue slipped and rolled in silently like a loach. The two soldiers seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and exchanged glances at each other, but before they could do anything, a pair of clear and clear eyes suddenly appeared in front of them, the girl's face under the moonlight was pointed, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her long black hair was messy The ground lay on the corners of her shoulders, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a hint of evil spirit and deadly chill. Her body was uneven, exquisite and graceful, like an evildoer who came out of the mountains and forests to take revenge.

"Hehe." The shot was made without delay, with a more tricky angle than Japanese ninjutsu, and the accurate recognition of acupuncture points and positions. Two poisoned purple silver needles were clamped between the fingers, facing the two who wanted to scream and want to shoot. The man's eyebrows were pierced, and the girl's thin chin was seen, and the sound of the body falling to the ground could be heard in the air, and the speed was so weird that it was unbelievable.

Now that he is ready to come to Yoshida City to find Kenzaburo Yoshida's mansion, Xin Yue has naturally made preparations in advance. The journey along the way may be a little unclear because of the night, but Xin Yue has worked hard for the mansion of Yoshida City Lord. She has studied it for a long time, and it seems that Chu Zhiling and a group of old Tang people once had the intention of capturing Yoshida City, so she has seen a part of the map of Yoshida City hand-painted by Chu Zhiling and others.

Go through the streets and alleys, bypass the Zhuimu Mansion and Gumo Temple, then turn right to Shili, pass through the dense evergreen broad-leaved forests of Xiong Village,

Before long, they came to a majestic mansion made of stone.

This place is not like an ordinary mansion.There are trenches dug around the house, and a suspension bridge hangs outside the gate.Directly opposite, a solid archery tower stands in the wind.

The moat of the Xiong Mansion still catches the eye, reflecting the dim moonlight.An earthen wall stood quietly in the darkness, and on the opposite side, the warehouse was hidden among the trees, like a strange rock.

There seems to be a banquet at Kenzaburo Yoshida’s house tonight, and people came out one after another late at night, probably samurai and daimyos from Alliance City. As a few people walked out, the suspension bridge was slowly lowered under the traction of a thick hemp rope.

"God help me too." A cold female voice sounded softly.
